How to make a sprite always stay in front of another[SOLVED]

I'm making a game that uses mainly RTS Behaviour (although it's not a RTS game), and I need a small sprite to always stay in front of the main character. This sprite is kind of a targeting reticule, so it should always keep the same distance away from the character's sprite and always in it's front, even if the character turns around. I tried a lot of things, but they didn't work...

Just add an Always event that sets this object in front of the player object. Should work.

The problem is how to make it stay in front. I only managed to make it stay close to the player, because when the player turns around, it doesn't turn together...

I think what you want is something like

Always set Reticle position to:

X: Player.X + cos(Player.Angle) * Desired distance from player

Y: Player.Y + sin(Player.Angle) * Desired distance from player

Thanks a lot, Arcticus! It worked!

Or you could place it on a layer above.... as it is UI. I always have a UI layer.

I believe what he meant was, 'How do I make a sprite stay a certain distance from the player in the angle he's facing'

The way its worded could easily be mistaken for, 'How do I make one sprite always appear on top of another'

However in this case I would also recommend putting it in a UI layer above the game layer anyway so, for example, the aiming reticle doesn't get hidden by some wall you added later.

the formula doesnt seem to work when the player is being flipped with the mirror function
